Gunman takes electronic game from Syracuse woman

SYRACUSE, NY -- A Syracuse woman told police she was robbed at gunpoint outside her home Wednesday evening.

Christine M. Smith, 27, of Graves Street, told police she had been waiting outside for a cab for a half hour when she decided about 7:25 p.m. to back in her home to call the cab company. As Smith was walking up to her door, she was approached by a male about 16 to 18 years of age, police said.

The male placed a gray revolver to her head and demanded "give me what you got," Smith told police.

Smith told the male that she had nothing, but the male took her Nintendo DS hand-held electronic game player, Smith said.
